If anyone's curious about whether it was a "marketing firm" or an "online resume" then plugging the web address into google search reveals that in fact it's neither - it's lorem ipsum. It also reveals that he's scrubbed it off his linkedin. Which, if it were really a resume, you wouldn't do.

Sarsapariller posted:Maybe, but this is kind of new. This is CIG directly linking itself to transparently bottom-of-the-barrel scam tactics. Before there was always some shadow of a doubt, maybe they were just brutally incompetent or maybe Chris was kind of a perfect storm of greed and stupidity but the project wasn't a scam, per se. But this is the second or third time in a month that they've used a fake news site to push lies about the state of progress. It is really easy to see through. And it indicates some pretty loving serious contempt for the critical thinking skills of the fan base. Or, more unfortunately, an incredibly accurate assessment of them.

TontoCorazon posted:Can someone explain to me why there's so many people so excited for this game when it took 6 years just to get to an almost useless alpha. It really shouldn't take a company 6 years just to get to early alpha. Lol, 6 years? Development started 3 hours ago so they're right on schedule compared to every triple A game ever made.

Xaerael posted:It's easier to describe the sun to a blind man. When I was a boy, in the 70's, a blind man came to our school and spoke to us about being blind, and I remember him telling us that people often spoke to him in a very loud voice as if he were deaf and not blind. We had kid in our class named Ryan that had a mental disability. At the time, the teachers told us that Ryan was retarded and it wasn't offensive, but I was seven so maybe it was. Ryan was a source of endless humor to the rest of us; and not a cruel species of humor, but something that I would describe as "A form of 'joy' peculiar to innocent children." Well, Ryan tried to ask the man a question, but Ryan asked through a teacher. At this, the blind man exclaimed "Behold! This little prick is an example of what I mean! He thinks I'm deaf, so he asks the teacher to speak to me!" //paraphrased. So that struck me as being hosed, because Ryan didn't keep pace with oral communication very well; also, we were all seven or eight years old. Ryan eventually was able to ask what exactly the blind man saw since he couldn't see anything. The blind man said that he saw what we would see if we tried to see what was behind us without turning around. He said that it wasn't black, there just wasn't anything to see. A few years later when I was in the third grade I checked out the novel "The NeverEnding Story" from the school library. When the prose treated on the subject of the Nothing I had a ready experience that I could recall and use to really capture the author's intent with. Years and years later I again found "The NeverEnding Story" at a bookstore in Syracuse, NY while I was stationed at Ft Drum. I recommended it to many people and lent my copy out at least a dozen times while I was in the Army. Unfortunately, I feel that I was never able to communicate effectively what the Nothing "looked" like. It still nags me today. I have the same feels when I try to explain why I'm lol'ing so hard when I read this thread.

BeefThief posted:Let me get this straight...they worked on Star Marine for a year after scrapping a previous, mostly complete version of it, and only about 1000 people have played it? WTFOSaurus, who is presumably paid by CIG to stream their game, has played the most of anyone in the world, at 30 hours? More than that have tried it (about 70k), but most have played played less than an hours worth. They have an orders of magnitude better engagement than equivalent indie releases ($20 multiplayer only shooter). But yeah, compared to AAA they are garbage stats.

The second movie was out that same year, so clearly it's a bootleg, but none of us knew that. Doesn't help that none of us spoke English back then. The movie was actually The NeverEnding Story III.

All the other articles are plagiarized without attribution but it's okay because they're just there to fill up the shilling website until I write more articles.

No different than CiG and the song Full Burn being in their data (PTU 1.3.0 files) that they released and then them saying "oh, someone must have just put that in there", I mean have they ever come out and claimed they commissioned that song or is it just a random song that they have included in their data that they have released commercially without due credit or money given to the artist? It's obvious that it IS their song that they commissioned (with backers money) but I don't recall them owning up to it being their property - Once again, another time that Chris Roberts and co have been deceptive. Have I remembered that right about that song or have I got something wrong in that? Kosumo fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Jan 8, 2017 |

Jst0rm posted:moma must be a cig employee. He disappeared for the holidays on these fine forums but played sm for 40 hours? And then that was shown to be a lie because the max is 30 hours? I find it incredibly hilarious that a cig employee's job is to come here and bog the thread down with nonsense. Carry on. Just my observations. Just because he walks, moves, breathes, swims, flies, shakes, smells, tastes, feels, looks, quacks, and has a notarized certificate claiming he's a duck doesn't mean that he is one. I'll give you the duck-belt, that one is kinda suspicious. Please keep your FUD away from this thread.

ACTUAL RESULT When the match begins you will be stuck with a grenade in your hand and you will not be able to swap to a weapon, throw grenades, etc... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxn_lNDiBc8&t=30s EXPECTED RESULT Should not be able to fall through the stairs on the hoplite ship, with or without landing gear extended. To find my beautiful avenger without its showcase hat on the sight should be on the rifle and the pistol should not have a sight, For my UI and indicators to be fit on my screen correctly IR signal of ships should not drop instantaneously when exiting the cockpit. Should go down slowly over time as the ship cools off, allowing for missiles to still be locked for a period of time after exiting the cockpit. All the players should show up on the score screen The other player should have a helmet even when eva. The face remains in animation and helmet face plate reflects the environment in and around the cockpit. Players should NEVER be able to see the camera that was present in the helmet of the pilot. I should not even be able to get in there.

Yeh that's about it. Song was found in SC files and brushed off as something that a developer left in there, even though the band has not yet been identified and its full of shart shitizen references. They definitely commissioned it.

TBH, anyone reading that site who thinks that piece isn't a shill is a loving thickie. I mean, COME ON SC NERDS. Stop and think to yourself, "What is the odd one out here?  But yeah. If that isn't someone inside or associated with CIG generating it... And if it IS a CIG generated piece... wow, criminal much? Journo laws require association disclosure.

Unprecedented how? They have said a lot of WORDS but in terms of what they have achieved they have managed to fall short of many games that exist Right Now. 'Fidelity'; I still am not sure what that means. Same with the tech; 64-bit positions is nothing new, just look at flight sims. They using the same (older) Cryengine tech as far as I can tell. Cryengine was cutting edge along side Unreal for a little while, but not anymore. Argh.
